There is a cadre of 14 million 'healthy' salty snackers.
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) January 21, 2014
American consumers are snacking more than ever thanks to less frequent restaurant dining, frenzied lifestyles that encourage on-the-go eating, and a growing tendency to replace meals with smaller, more frequent snacks. Nationwide, 50 million consumers who often snack between meals agree that "salted snacks are my favorite snack," and 90% of households report eating salty snacks in the past 30 days, according to "Salty Snacks in the U.S.," a recently released report by market research publisher Packaged Facts.
Underpinning the success of snack foods are the strides marketers have made in developing healthier salty snack foods that still taste good. As a result, there is a cadre of 14 million "healthy" salty snackers who exercise often, seek out healthy-ingredient foods of all kinds, and do not see a conflict between craving salty snacks and pursing a healthy snacking diet.
According to Packaged Facts research director David Sprinkle, part of salty snacks' metamorphosis into "better-for-you" products has been a change in product labeling that mirrors that for other better-for-you positioned foods such as fruit- and nut-based snacks. Salty snacks now often call out attributes such as "non-GMO," "vegan," or "organic." They also often are labeled more subjectively as being "local," "pure," "real," "natural," "safe," "clean," "minimally processed" and "allergy-friendly."
Packaged Facts projects that a number of factors will converge to generate faster growth for the salty snacks market during the upcoming 2014-2018 period. Marketers will continue to add more healthy-ingredient products to the salty snack segment to meet demand, including offerings from niche entrepreneurial companies that focus on bringing innovative health-ingredient salty snacks to consumers.

The United States will not let the WTO write its next farm bill. However, export markets must be given careful consideration as new farm legislation takes shape.
That's as much assurance as Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns was willing to give a south Georgia crowd that future farm policy would not be dictated by the demands of world trading partners. The USDA Farm Bill Forum was held during this year's Sunbelt Ag Expo in Moultrie, Ga.
"We have an interesting situation in the United States, more than interesting," said Johanns. "In fact, in some respects, it's an economic life or death situation for farmers. The situation is this. Our farmers and ranchers are the most productive in the history of mankind. They just always find a way year after year to get a little bit better than the year before. We are growing our agricultural productivity by about 2 percent a year," he said
The challenge, says Johanns, is that U.S. consumption is growing at less than 1 percent a year. "If you chart that out over a decade, you'd begin to see the dynamic that you're dealing with. You just have a terrific imbalance," he said.
In addition, he said, 95 percent of the world's population doesn't live in the United States. "Ninety-five percent of the customer base for the products you raise is outside of the United States. Now, I'll ask you to consider one last thing. Twenty-seven percent of your income already comes from the export market, and in some areas it's even more significant. The important issue for us is that we do trade in a way that recognizes that this dynamic is here and provides an opportunity not only for you today but in the future," said Johanns.
The Step-2 Program in cotton ran into problems in a WTO ruling, he said. "Some of you may push back and say, well, wait a minute here, what about that? Again, I will point out to you that this export market, for cotton especially, is an enormously important market. We've got to pay attention to it. Those are the things that we are working with. We say over and over again, we're not going to let the WTO run or write our farm bill, but we're also going to be mindful of the fact that we need to continue to build this export market," said Johanns.
Also at the farm bill hearing, Georgia U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who is chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, told farmers that conservation programs would be expanded in the next farm bill.
"As we move into the next farm bill, I'm very confident of the fact that the conservation programs that we have in place today are not only going to be expanded, but we're going to look at some other alternatives in conservation. As we look at being WTO compliant, it's going to be necessary that we have more of those green-box and blue-box items, and conservation programs fit into those boxes," said Chambliss.
Van Murphy, a farmer from Brooks County, Ga., and manager of BCT Gin Company, said at the hearing that the 2002 farm bill has worked well for growers in Georgia and the Southeast. "The current program provides an important safety net for production agriculture, and it does so in a responsible manner. Spending under the farm bill is much less than originally projected, as you well know," said Murphy.
Counter-cyclical payments along with direct payments and the marketing loan program protect farmers from fickle weather and commodity markets while allowing them to respond to market signals, he added.
"Today, farmers face a lot of great risks, a lot more than other business people out there. Many factors are beyond the farmer's control. An effective farm program is essential for providing stable production, financing and marketing. We're looking forward to the new farm bill, and it's vital that the U.S. maintain a stable, predictable and equitable farm policy," he said.
In addition to a number of row-crop farmers, several vegetable producers spoke at the Georgia farm bill hearing about their needs and concerns.
Bill Brim, a vegetable producer from Tifton, Ga., shared his concerns on the issue of securing legal farm labor. Brim owns Lewis Taylor Farms which grows about 3,000 acres of produce and employs about 450 people.
"Right now, labor is the No. 1 question that we're dealing with for our next generation. Labor is going to be our problem, and it's one of the most critical issues facing both today's generation and our future generation of fresh-market produce growers," said Brim.
"For the last eight years, we've been working with the people from Georgia, with Southeast vegetable farmers, with congressional delegations, with various U.S. agencies, the Farm Bureau — about what's going to happen and what kind of problems we're having securing a legal and dependable labor workforce. The fact that approximately 90 percent of our workforce is undocumented is a pretty good indication that our efforts so far have failed," he said.
Brim said many growers in the H2A Program have access to a legal workforce, but that prohibitive costs and excessive litigation make the program "virtually unworkable." The program, he added, required growers to pay an "adverse effect" wage of $8.07, in addition to free housing and free transportation.
Ken Hamilton, a Colquitt County, Ga., vegetable producer said the dynamics of American agriculture are changing. "In 2004, specialty crop production in the United States was valued at $55.9 billion. That represents over 50 percent of the total plant agriculture in the United States. However, more than 90 percent of the funds in our commodity programs focus on traditional crops. Food and vegetable crops are typically characterized by high production input costs and very unique and volatile market conditions.
"We look to the 2007 farm bill to help address some of these issues for our industry — not by creating direct program payment to growers, but in support of research, conservation and marketing programs. One of the issues that we must address in 2007 is payment limitations and conservation program participation based on annual gross revenues," said Hamilton.

It's been a great time in Boston, but we've reached the Ask Me One More final round. Puzzle guru Art Chung leads the final five contestants in a game comprised of words, phrases and names that begin with the letters B-A-N. For example, the triangular patterned cloth you might wear around your head or neck would be a "bandana," and if it doesn't bear the Red Sox logo, then you're in the wrong town.
We've reached that point in the show where we're going to crown this week's grand champion. Let's bring back the winners from all the previous games. From Hahd-Cawr Pun: Jack Martin.
EISENBERG: From Plus One: Dan Katz. From Name Brand Names: Jon Petitt. And from I left my heart in Boston: Karin Travers.
EISENBERG: I'm going to ask our puzzle guru Art Chung to take us out.
ART CHUNG: Ophira, this game is called Banned in Boston. From the late 1800s up until the 1950s, many novels and works of art were banned from the city for being immoral or indecent. But don't worry, that's not what this game is about.
CHUNG: This game is about words, proper names and phrases that begin with the letters B-A-N. So, for example, if I said, it's a triangular patterned cloth worn around your head, the answer would be bandana. That's right.
We're going to play this spelling bee style, so one wrong answer and you're out. You'll have only a few seconds to give me that answer and the last person standing is our grand winner. Remember, all the answers begin with the letters B-A-N. Here we go. Jack, it's a bluegrass instrument played by comedian Steve Martin.
JACK MARTIN: Banjo.
CHUNG: You got it. Dan, it's what you'd hold onto while walking down the staircase.
DAN KATZ: A banister.
CHUNG: That's right. Jon, it's the last name of the host of "America's Next Top Model," Tyra.
JON PETITT: Banks.
CHUNG: Banks, correct. Karin, the British call it fringe, but we call the hair in front of your forehead this.
KARIN TRAVERS: Bangs.
CHUNG: You've got bangs, that's right. Jack, it's an HBO mini series produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks about World War II.
MARTIN: Band of brothers.
CHUNG: Band of brothers, that's right. Dan, Stephen King says that the fiction town of Dairy is his portrayal of this city in Maine.
KATZ: Bangor.
CHUNG: Bangor, Maine. You got it. Jon, he was the super villain in the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises." Three seconds. I'm sorry, Jon, you're out of time. Karin, do you know the answer? The super villain in the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises."
TRAVERS: I got nothing.
CHUNG: You got nothing. Sorry. Let's go to Jack. Jack, do you know the answer to that question?
MARTIN: Can I use banjo again?
CHUNG: You could try but that's...
MARTIN: Yeah, that's not going to get it done.
CHUNG: Jack is closing his eyes in deep contemplation.
MARTIN: Oh, Banks.
CHUNG: No, I'm sorry. Dan, if you know the answer, you are our grand winner.
KATZ: I would say it in his voice, but you'd have no idea what I was saying. It's Bane.
CHUNG: Bane is correct.
EISENBERG: It is no surprise, the man wearing the superhero t-shirt got that question. Dan, you are our ASK ME ANOTHER big winner. Congratulations.
KATZ: Thank you very much.
JONATHAN COULTON: To celebrate our first show on the road, your prize is your very own ASK ME ANOTHER travel tote. We have filled a bag with everything a nerd needs. We've got a toothbrush, playing cards, a book of mad libs, an ASK ME ANOTHER cloth cleaner, sinus medication, a Jonathan Coulton CD and so much more. Congratulations, Dan.
KATZ: Thank you so much.

SOURCE: OCZ Technology Group, Inc.
January 22, 2013 16:15 ET
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - January 22, 2013) - OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCZ), a leading provider of high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) for computing devices and systems, today announced that that the Audit Committee's investigation has been completed. As noted in the Company's December 17th press release, the Company is working with Crowe Horwath LLP, the independent auditors, regarding the restatements of the results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, as well as the results for fiscal 2012. The restatements primarily relate to the timing and classification of customer incentive costs between revenue and operating expenses, the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions, and the level of reserves for product returns. The restatement of prior periods will be provided as soon as practical.
In addition, because of the delayed filing with the SEC of the Form 10-Q for the period ending November 30, 2012 (the "Form 10-Q"), the Company, as anticipated, received a letter from The Nasdaq OMX Group ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c). As previously announced, the Listing Qualifications Staff at Nasdaq, based on the Company's compliance plan, granted the Company an exception until February 28, 2013 to file its Form 10-Q for the period ended August 31, 2012.
This recent Nasdaq letter notes that the Company is required, by February 1, 2013, to submit an update to this original plan to regain compliance. Nasdaq is permitted to grant an extension of up to 180 days from the initial delinquent filing, or until April 8, 2013, for the Company to regain compliance.
As previously stated, the Company continues to work diligently to complete the financial audit and quarterly reviews along with any necessary restatements. While this will hopefully be completed in the near future, the exact date cannot currently be estimated.
On January 15, 2013 the Company amended its credit facility agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance to, among other things, reduce the maximum loan amount to $20 million from the prior $35 million. At December 31, 2012 the outstanding loan balance was approximately $7 million compared to approximately $15 million at November 30, 2012 and $20 million at August 31, 2012. This amendment specifies certain reporting requirements and liquidity minimums, but also provides the Company with an operating structure to support its business needs while the Company is in technical default of certain covenants. A summary of the material terms of the amendment will be filed today in a Form 8-K.
"The independent investigation has been completed and the findings were highly consistent with the Company's internally identified issues. The Company has already eliminated certain customer incentive programs and made people and process changes to improve overall business operations and continue moving the Company in a positive direction," stated Ralph Schmitt, CEO of OCZ Technology. "We continue to focus on making operational improvements and have significantly reduced our channel inventory to less than $50 million. This puts our sales channel in excellent position to properly support our customers while also efficiently managing our total inventory. The Company has successfully settled the two previously disclosed product and patent litigation contingencies, removing the potential for significant, unforeseen liabilities to the Company."
"The team continues to deliver on its product development efforts, and at this year's CES in Las Vegas, we unveiled and demonstrated the upcoming PCIe based Vector SSD as well as showcased a wide range of client and enterprise solid-state storage solutions," added Schmitt. "We are also pleased with the customer and industry reactions we are receiving for our latest SATA III-based Vector SSD Series, featuring the Company's next-generation Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller, and look forward to continue to provide our customers with innovative industry leading storage solutions."
About OCZ Technology Group, Inc.Founded in 2002, San Jose, CA-based OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (OCZ) is a global leader in the design, manufacturing, and distribution of high-performance solid-state storage solutions and premium computer components.

PITTSBURGH, July 16 – Jeff Kepner, the nation's first bilateral hand transplant recipient, spoke at a news conference today about his surgery and showed the progress he has made since the May 4 procedure. Mr. Kepner, who lost both hands and feet following a bacterial infection in 1999, is the second patient to be treated with the "Pittsburgh Protocol," a new immune modulation therapy that aims to reduce the risk associated with toxic anti-rejection drugs."I am looking forward to the opportunity to regain my independence. It will be great to hold my wife's and daughter's hands again and to be able to do things with them that I haven't been able to do for over 10 years," said Mr. Kepner, 57, of Augusta, Ga. A transplant team composed of surgeons, hematologists, nurses, therapists and researchers has cared for Mr. Kepner since the nine-hour surgery. He receives daily occupational therapy at UPMC as his physicians monitor him closely for signs of rejection."This ground-breaking surgery represents the culmination of more than 20 years of research in the field of hand transplantation," said surgeons on the UPMC hand transplant surgical team. "Thus far, Jeff is meeting our expectations for recovery. He is making steady progress in hand therapy, and we expect him to regain movement and sensation in the transplanted hands in the next nine to 12 months as he works with a team of occupational therapists."Although surgeons from around the world have performed hand transplants successfully, they have used a traditional protocol of multiple immunosuppressive medications to prevent rejection of the grafts, increasing the risk of diabetes, infections, hypertension and other disorders. In contrast, surgeons at UPMC have implemented a two-phase protocol that involves initial antibody treatment followed by bone marrow cell therapy. The goal is not merely to suppress the immune system but to change the way it functions. Under the protocol, Mr. Kepner received antibodies to help overcome the initial overwhelming immune response. That was followed by a bone marrow infusion from the hand donor 15 days after the surgery. Patients are treated with tacrolimus, a drug that was first used in liver transplants by UPMC's Thomas E. Starzl, M.D., Ph.D., more than two decades ago to maintain the low-grade immunosuppression needed to prevent long-term graft rejection."Unlike a solid-organ transplant, which is needed to sustain or prolong life, a hand transplant enhances the quality of life," said the surgeons. "We have devoted many years of research to developing an immunomodulatory protocol that may reduce the risks of the procedure for the long-term health of our patients. This would allow more amputees to be considered for hand transplants in the future. Currently, we have three people approved for hand transplants awaiting suitable donors."UPMC and the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM) are funding the hand transplant study. Surgeons performed the first unilateral hand transplant at UPMC on March 14, 2009.For more information on the hand transplant program, including photos and video of Mr. Kepner's surgery and hand therapy, please visit www.upmc.com/handtransplant. UPMC is an $8 billion integrated global health enterprise headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and one of the leading nonprofit health systems in the United States. As western Pennsylvania's largest employer, with 50,000 employees, UPMC is transforming the economy of the region into one based on medicine, research and technology.

As part of a natural cycle, ice shelves periodically calve icebergs. In March 2000, Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf released a mammoth berg nearly the size of Connecticut. Named B-15, it was one of the largest icebergs ever observed. B-15 broke into smaller pieces, but it mostly remained trapped in cold climate conditions and lasted more than a decade.
One fragment of B-15, dubbed B-15J, made an appearance in satellite imagery in early December 2011. The iceberg had finally strayed far from Antarctica, and began breaking into smaller pieces. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this natural-color image of B-15J on December 2, 2011.
Sliver-shaped pieces of ice form an arc around the oblong iceberg, which had disintegrated discernibly since last spotted in late November. B-15J and the smaller fragments were roughly 2,400 kilometers (1,500 miles) east-southeast of New Zealand. Floating into warmer waters prompted it to break apart. An iceberg from the Larsen Ice Shelf underwent a similar disintegration in 2008. As of late November 2011, several other remnants of Iceberg B-15 were still drifting in the Southern Ocean, including B-15B, B-15F, B-15G, B-15K, B-15R, B-15T, and B-15X.

text: Ex-Tesco drivers stage Sheffield demo at 'unfair dismissals' hearing 12 June 2014 Former drivers, who used to work on the Tesco distribution contract in Doncaster, will stage a silent demonstration outside their employment tribunal (ET) hearing in Sheffield tomorrow (Friday 13 June). The crux of their case is that Eddie Stobart Ltd (ESL) and Tesco had together agreed to make 184 drivers redundant well before the workers had been consulted. Unite, the country's largest union, is supporting the unfair dismissal claim on behalf of the 184 drivers at the employment tribunal. The union is also saying that a 'protected award' for the drivers should follow for the companies failing to genuinely engage in consultation. The drivers will be protesting outside the ET offices at 14 East Parade,Sheffield S1 2ET at 10.00 tomorrow. Unite national officer Adrian Jones said: "Basically, our members are saying that Tesco and Stobarts colluded to sack our members who had fought hard for terms and conditions over many years so that they could be replaced by cheaper drivers. "Since then the company has been employing agency drivers to do exactly the same jobs as they did, but on worse terms and conditions." The origins of the dispute go back to August 2012 when the transport workforce was transferred from Tesco to ESL and then in September, ESL issued notice of termination of employment, with no promise that the drivers would be re-employed once the 90-days were up. This sparked a four month dispute. Eventually the drivers voted to accept a package from ESL which meant that they finished work in January 2013. A number of the former Tesco drivers are still working in the industry either as self-employed drivers or for agencies – however, a good proportion remain unemployed.

Vermont is a breathtakingly beautiful place, and our campus is no exception. Our hilltop location offers 360-degree views of the Green Mountains as they are transformed by the seasons, as well as the meadows, hills and woods that make up the 350 acres of our peaceful piece of Vermont.
We hope we'll get a chance to meet you in person and show you the vistas as well as our favorite spots on campus — from the Library, to the Rugby pitch, to the Julian Scott Gallery, to the Lower Pond. We'd love to show you why we love this place.
And while the scenery will impress you, a visit will let you see what makes us truly special — our people. We're a community of hard-working, creative, open-minded people who support and encourage each other, no matter how different the places we've come from or are headed to.
A family visiting campus recently reported with great delight that their tour guide, a varsity athlete who was clearly serious about his sport, couldn't say enough about the arts on campus — "They're the best part of being here!" And you better believe that our painters, poets and dancers are rooting the loudest for our Badgers when they're on the courts and fields! That mutual support and willingness to branch out beyond 'your thing' is what makes Johnson State such a great place to learn and grow.

Cost: $1.99
For: Fashion-forward kids
Any time Toca Boca releases an app, I know before even looking at it that it's going be great. Toca Tailor fits the bill again and is this app developer's latest stroke of genius. Budding fashion designers will delight in the sartorial splendor of this app.
Kids get to act as "tailors" and customize outfits, patterns and styles for four different characters. Upon choosing one of Toca's signature characters to dress, kids can figure out which patterns they like best, sleeve length, shirt/pants style and then even add things like pockets and fun buttons to their creations. When the outfit is complete, of course, it's time to accessorize with hats, sunglasses, shoes and more.
What's even cooler is that kids can even use the built-in camera to photograph anything for use as a clothes pattern for your kid's stylish model. A yellow banana or the living room rug can become the design for a pair of pants or a shirt. Another cool camera function is that once the model is dressed and styled to the max, kids can take a picture of their surroundings and pop their models right into the scene. Genius.
And true to all Toca Boca apps, there are no in-app purchases or ads, giving stylish kids the complete freedom to design and style to their heart's content.

Kate Hudson is determined to keep her upcoming wedding top-secret so no one finds out about her big day until after she marries Matt Bellamy.
The Almost Famous star is set to exchange vows with Muse frontman Bellamy, who proposed in April 2011, and insists she will be closely guarding details of the ceremony.
She tells USA Today, "I think until the day we get married, the answer is going to be, 'We have no intention right now of getting married.' And then you'll find out we got married.
"We have an idea. It's starting to formulate but it's a timing thing. But honestly, right now, Matt is touring. Ryder is in school. I'm working."
Hudson's eight-year-old son Ryder is from her previous marriage to Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson, while she gave birth to Bingham, her first child with Bellamy, in July 2011.

There are two schools of thought about legal education.
One insists that law schools are fundamentally fine. They face only a momentary lull in demand. They will recover so long as they continue to do as they have done. Another contends that the educational program leading into legal practice is fundamentally flawed. It needs reform even if the marketplace improves. The recent economic crisis exposed problems that always had been there.
I count myself among those who embrace the latter view. Adaptation is mandatory, not optional. But it already is underway, in need of encouragement.

The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid (along with its mechanical twin, the Saturn Aura Hybrid) was GM's first foray into the midsize hybrid sedan segment. It was powered by a gas engine augmented by a small electric motor. Like other vehicles in its class, the Malibu Hybrid promised improved fuel economy along with passable performance and the typical virtues one would expect from a family sedan.
However, potential buyers should know that the Malibu is not a "Full" hybrid in the sense that it can utilize its electric motor solely to propel itself at city speeds (meaning up to 25 or 30 mph). The latter feature is what allows full hybrids to get such phenomenal fuel mileage in the city and in stop-and-go traffic. That said, the Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid didn't demand the initial price premium of a full hybrid either.
Though we think fairly highly of the Malibu itself, we honestly didn't see the point in this half-baked hybrid and would advise those who are looking for a used hybrid midsize sedan to consider the "real" versions offered by the Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry lineups.
Most Recent Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid Models
The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid was produced from 2008-'10 essentially unchanged throughout its short model run. The Malibu Hybrid came in one well-equipped trim level with standard features that included alloy wheels, full power features, keyless entry, automatic climate control and a CD stereo with MP3 playback, an auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio. The few options included a power driver seat and a sunroof.
Under the hood, the Malibu Hybrid featured a four-cylinder gas engine coupled with a tiny electric motor. Unlike cutting-edge, full-hybrid competitors, the Malibu relied on its gas engine to do almost all of the work. The gas mill was a 2.4-liter unit rated at 164 horsepower and 159 pound-feet of torque; the electric motor added a maximum of 5 hp for a total of 169.
The electric motor could only propel the Malibu Hybrid by itself at speeds of up to 3 mph, and came into play to assist the gas engine under hard acceleration. However, its main task was to restart the gas engine, which automatically shut off during a full stop to minimize fuel consumption. At 24 mpg city/32 mpg highway and 27 mpg combined, the Malibu Hybrid's EPA-rated fuel economy was just 2 mpg higher than the non-hybrid four-cylinder Malibu. And the hybrid's acceleration was leisurely at best, with the benchmark 0-60-mph sprint requiring about 11 seconds.
Measured against other contemporary midsize hybrid sedans, our editors agreed that the Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid fell short. Competing models offered far more impressive gains in fuel economy relative to their non-hybrid four-cylinder brethren -- the Ford Fusion Hybrid rated 36 mpg city/41 mpg highway, the Altima Hybrid 35/33 and the Camry Hybrid 33/34. This is largely because the electric motors in these models were far more powerful than the one in the Malibu, which allowed them to operate solely on electric power at city speeds. The extra electric power also enabled these sedans to accelerate with more authority. The Malibu did boast a considerable price advantage over those more sophisticated hybrids, but its modest fuel economy advantage over the base four-cylinder Malibu made it a questionable economic choice.
On the upside, the Malibu offered the same refined ride and attractive interior design as the non-hybrid Malibu. Ergonomics were first-rate, road and wind noise were muted and the front seats nicely shaped for long hauls. Rear-seat legroom was excellent, although the rakish rear roof line could limit headroom for taller passengers and there was no center armrest. And one notable advantage of the Malibu's relatively puny electric motor system is that the trunk wasn't filled with space-eating battery packs.

Story compliments of Tutto Arabi
For advertising info or a magazine subscription click here.
On the 16th and 17th of January 2009 the annual Ajman Arabian Horse Show took place in the wonderful country of Ajman. As always organized by Sheikh Ammar Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, this very special show gathered together some of the best horses of the United Arab Emirates. Together with the beautiful horses, this show became famous for the amazing Closing Ceremony what every year gets more and more magnificent leaving the crowd astonished.
The center of the show arena was decorated with a typical winter scene. Pine trees and artificial snow had been the background of the whole show. For the first time in history, snow has been seen in Ajman...
The jury who had the difficult task to judge such a great quality of horses was formed by Mrs. Titti Gagliani from Italy, Mr. Willi Poth from France, Mr. Koenraad Detalleur from Belgium and Mr. Amir Ali Sardar from France.
The Friday classes started with the section A of the yearling fillies, that was won by a very charismatic daughter of World Champion Marwan Al Shaqab, Al Aryam Suhayla, proudly bred and owned by Al Aryam Stud of Abu Dhabi. Second in this class was the pretty Bourouz, owned by Ziad Abdulla Ibrahim Galadari and the third place went to Shams Al Bidayer, owned by Al Bidayer Stud.
Section B of the yearling fillies was won by Hasina Al Zobair, a very typy filly bred and owned by Al Zobair Stud. Second place went to Al Aryam Arwa, another promising filly of Al Aryam Stud. At the third place was Aj Sundos of Ajman Stud.
The two years old filly class saw again a very high quality of competitors. First place went to the Wh Justice daughter Juwanda OS, bred by Osterhof Stud in Germany and now proudly owned by Dubai Stud. Second in this class was Al Aryam Hanna from Al Aryam Stud and third was Bint Badeah, owned by H.H. Sheikha Azza Bint Sultan Bin Mohammed al Qassemi.
The winner of the three years old filly class was the beautiful Aja Angelica, bred by Aja Arabians of England and now owned by Ajman Stud. The second place went to Al Amirah owend by H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammed al Qassemi and the third place went again to Ajman Stud with Om El Enigma.
After the fillies classes, it was time to see the beautiful mares who competed at the Ajman Show. The 4 to 7 years old mare class gave great success to Dubai Stud who saw its two mares, Lumiar bint Balzac and Shownel respectively first and second with the same total score. The third place went to RS Kasiba, owned by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahayyan.
The old mares class was won by the Brazilian imported Chammur, now owned by Ajman Stud. Second and third place went to two Straight Egyptian mares: second was the beautiful Mmecca, owned by Shikh Abudlla Bin Mohammed Ali Al Thani and third with the same total score was Imperial Baaraah, owned by Sheikh Mohammed Saoud Sultan Saqar al Qassimi.
The Saturday classes started with the yearling colts. First place went to Aj Darajj, a son of AS Natsir Apal. Second was Mansoor Al Zobair, owned by Al Zobair Stud and the third place went to Warrad, owned by H.H. Shikh Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qassemi.
The two years old colt class was won by Spartacus To, a very charismatic son of Marwan Al Shaqab, owned by Ajman Stud. Second was Zahi Al Bidayer, owned by Al Bidayer Stud and third was Bahij Muraqeb, owned by Sheikh Butti Bin Maktoum Bin Juma Al Maktoum.
In the three years old colts class the highest honors went to Alfonzo, owned by Al Bidayer Stud. Second was the Wh Justice son Preemium, owned by Dubai Stud. Third was Najem Al Bustan from the Al Bustan Stables.
After the colts classes had been over, the time came to watch the marvelous Arabian stallions. The 4 to 7 years old stallion class saw a very tough competition. The first three horses were only a few points apart. First was Mahna Al Zobair, owned by Al Zobair Stud. Second was Alzeer Al Rayyan, owned by Sheikh Abdulla Bin Mohammed Ali Althani. At the third place was JJ Charismatico, owned by Ajman Stud.
The old stallion class was won by straight Egyptian stallion Maydan-Madheen, owned by Sheikh Abdulla Bin Mohammed Ali Althani. At the second place, only one point away, was AS Natsir-Apal, owned by Ajman Stud. The third place went to Ghabash Al Shaqab, owned by Ziad Abdulla Ibrahim Galadari.
Right after the male classes, the championship took place, but the winners had not been announced, leaving great suspense among the crowed.
Soon after the horses walked out of the show arena, the lights went off and some artificial snow was blown on the crowed. It was snowing in Ajman...
This was the start of an astonishing closing ceremony. Dancers with torches of fire, contortionists, magnificent horses ridden by beautiful fairies. The crowd was thrilled by such a show. And last but not least, a great show of fireworks that lighted up the sky of Ajman...
An incredible event, thoughtfully planned by SheikhAmmar, who every year impresses his guests with real entertainment.
At the end of the closing ceremony the Champions and the Reserve Champions were announced.
The champion filly title went to the winner of the Section A of the yearling fillies, Al Aryam Suhayla of Al Aryam Stud and the reserve title went to Juwanda OS of Dubai Stud.
The Mare Champion honors went to Lumiar Bint Balzac of Dubai Stud, while reserve was named Chammur of Ajman Stud.
In the Colts championship the winner was the charismatic Spartacus To of Ajman Stud and reserve was Alfonzo of Albidayer Stud.
Maydan Madheen, owned by Sheikh Abdulla Bin Mohammed Ali Althani won the stallion Championship and the reserve title went to AS Natsir Apal, of Ajman Stud.
Once again a great show, once again great entertainment. Who knows what Sheikh Ammar has in mind for next year, but we are sure, it will be once again a great event!

Snack time got a little more eventful at one elementary school in Connecticut recently. A four-year-old special needs student pulled out nine bags of marijuana from his coat pocket while announcing that he had snacks, the Record-Journal reports. A nearby teacher noticed and quickly alerted the principal, who called the police.
PLUS: Dad Sends Toddler to Daycare with Marijuana
The boy's mother, Debra Rivera, turned herself in to authorities. She was arrested and is being charged with possession of marijuana, possession with intent to sell, possession of a controlled substance, and risk of injury to a child.
PLUS: Girl Brings Dad's Cocaine Stash to School for Show & Tell
Luckily, the teacher managed to confiscate the drugs before any other child became aware of them. The school said they plan to send out a mass alert telephone message to parents, informing them of the incident. They hope that this will encourage parents to have an open dialogue with their children about their safety.
At what age did you—or do you plan to—talk to your kids about drugs?

"Smart and Skilled" is the new system in place in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector and is designed to help people get the skills they need to find a job and progress further in their chosen career.
It provides eligible students with:
# an entitlement to government subsidised
training up to and including Certificate III level
# government funding for higher level courses (Certificate IV and above) in targeted priority areas
To be eligible for Smart and Skilled funding, you need to:
# be aged 15 years or older
# have left school
# live or work in NSW
# be an Australian citizen, permanent
resident, humanitarian visa holder
or New Zealand citizen
Are you eligible? Check now and find out.
What Courses are Available?
There is a wide range of subsidised courses available in most industry areas. You can search for available courses by using the Smart and Skilled Course Finder. You can search for courses in your local area, or anywhere in the state and you can also search based on the qualification level, the length of course and more - just enter or tick these details in the course finder.
Who Can I Study With?
There are a large number of training providers (over 300) accredited to deliver courses under Smart and Skilled. TAFE is obviously a big one, but there are many others too. You can also search to see what training providers are available in your area.
How Much do Courses Cost?
Each course costs a different amount depending on the type of course and the level of qualification, however, under Smart and Skilled the amount you will pay for each course will be the same at every training provider - ie: every provider must charge the same amount for a certain course as every other provider delivering that same course.
You will only have to pay a portion of the total course cost (the rest is paid by the Government). To get an estimate of what you would have to pay for courses you are interested in, use the "Find a Course" button above and then use the "Estimate your fee" button on the course page. (Note: This only gives you an estimation - you need to talk to the actual course provider to get an exact amount).
How do you enrol?
Once you find a course you are interested in, the best thing to do is to contact the provider of that course and speak to them about the enrolment process. You should also ask them to tell you exactly what the course will cost you and also if there are any concessions or exemptions available to you.
You will also need to have a "Unique Student Identifier" (USI) - this is a
bit like an account number made up of letters and numbers and is allocated to you.
It is used to identify you when undertaking any
vocational training from the start of 2015. You must have this Unique Student
Identifier before you
can commence any courses. If you don't already have one, you can create one at
www.usi.gov.au .
The video below gives and overview of the USI, why you need it and what it is for (click to play):
Concessions and Exemptions:
There are fee concessions and exemptions available to some students such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders (ATSI), students with disabilities and students receiving welfare benefits.
There are details on these here - but you should also talk to the training provider of your proposed course to see what might be available to you.

The LSU basketball team finished its unbeaten November shooting 55.9 percent from the foul line, but the Tigers were very good shooting free throws when it mattered most.
LSU went 14-of-23 from the line in the final 3:10 of a 102-95 victory over Northwestern State, then made 7-of-8 in the last 1:27 of a 62-57 win against Seton Hall.
For the season, the Tigers are 23-of-33 (69.7 percent) on free throws in the final five minutes of games.
"I never really harped on it when we weren't knocking them down because I know we have some very capable shooters," LSU coach Johnny Jones said. "The last thing I wanted to do was get in their psyche."
One reason LSU has finished strong at the line is because the Tigers have gotten their best free-throw shooters there late in games.
Charles Carmouche (the team leader at 76 percent from the line) has taken 12 of the 33 free throws by LSU in the final five minutes. Anthony Hickey (73.3 percent) and Andre Stringer (66.7 percent) have combined to take 12 more.
Del Piero makes noise
Although the loudest roars from the Pete Maravich Assembly Center crowd Thursday came as LSU overcame a 16-point second-half deficit, the ovation senior center Andrew Del Piero received before tip-off would have registered pretty high on the old "Deaf Dome" meter.
Del Piero, who gave up his band scholarship to join the basketball program as a walk-on two years ago, earned a scholarship from Jones this fall. Thursday, he earned his first career start.
Del Piero, 7-foot-3, began playing significant minutes for the first time early this year.
"What he has done in practice and how he has carried that over into the games has earned him that opportunity," Jones said. "And I think our fans recognize that and appreciate that hard work pays off. We hope we can continue to get great minutes out of Andrew throughout the season."
Fans in the student section chanted "TU-ba! TU-ba!" as Del Piero, who played that instrument during two years as a band member, was introduced with the other starters.
The fan favorite held his own early, scoring two points, grabbing two rebounds and blocking one shot in the first half. But he played only eight minutes, in large part because LSU dumped its half-court offense and went to a full-court press early in the second half.
Livingston returns
Former LSU point guard Randy Livingston spent Thursday night watching the man who recruited him lead the Tigers to their biggest win of the young season.
Livingston signed with Jones, then an LSU assistant, and the Tigers as one of the nation's top prospects coming out of Newman in New Orleans two decades ago. His college career was derailed by knee injuries, but Livingston still managed to play in 203 NBA games over 11 seasons.
Livingston said this is the first time in 30 years he has had free time on his hands during basketball season.
He spent last season coaching the Idaho Stampede of the D-League but was not retained by the organization when it became partners with the Portland Trailblazers.
"With coach Jones being back, it seems like things here are on the upswing," Livingston said. "So I'm going to try to make it back more often."
Although unable to attend LSU basketball games because of his busy in-season schedule, Livingston said he has attended many LSU football games in recent years, in part because he and running backs coach Frank Wilson, a fellow New Orleans native, remain close friends.
Crying foul
Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard said after Thursday's loss that his Pirates had a great opportunity to put LSU away early in the second half. When they didn't, he said it affected the way the game was called.
"We let them get some easy shots, some 15-footers and offensive rebounds," Willard said. "If you let the crowd get back in it, then the refs will just swallow their whistles like they did. It's a learning process, and that's what I like about our team."
In his remarks about the officiating, Willard was seemingly referring to a stretch from the 6:59 mark of the second half to 1:27 when no fouls were called.
LSU finished a frantic rally during that time, coming back from 16 points down with 17:16 left to take the lead.
"I was glad the referees let us play," LSU forward Shavon Coleman said. "They didn't call all the ticky-tack fouls. We got bumped. They got bumped."
For the game, Seton Hall was whistled for 21 fouls and LSU for 14.
Ludwig's all right
Senior forward Eddie Ludwig did not play Thursday after starting the first four games, but Jones said that was strictly a reflection of the matchup Seton Hall presented.
"I thought matchupwise, we were more beneficial with the lineup we were rotating in and out," Jones said. "But I can assure you Eddie is going to have some huge nights for us before it's over."
Ludwig, one of three seniors, averages 3.3 points and 4.8 rebounds.

Protecting your Home Against Termites
ENTFACT-605: Protecting your Home Against Termites | Download PDF
by Mike Potter, Extension Entomologist
University of Kentucky College of Agriculture
The Entomology Department often receives calls from people wanting to know what can be done to protect their home from termites -- or if a certain practice or condition is likely to cause termite problems.
Homeowners can reduce the risk of termite attack by following the suggestions listed below.
- Eliminate wood contact with the ground. Many termite infestations result from structural wood being in direct contact with the soil. Earth-to-wood contact provides termites with easy access to food, moisture, and shelter, as well as direct, hidden entry into the building. Wood siding, latticework, door and window frames and similar wood items should be at least six inches above ground level. Eliminating wood-to-soil contact may require regrading or pulling soil or mulch back from the foundation, cutting the bottom off of wood latticework, or supporting steps or posts on a concrete base. Posts or stairs that are embedded in concrete are also vulnerable to termites since they usually extend all the way through the concrete to the soil. Contrary to popular belief, wood which has been pressure treated is not immune to termite attack; termites will enter pressure-treated wood through cut ends and cracks, and will also build tunnels over the surface.
- Don't let moisture accumulate near the foundation. Termites are attracted to moisture and are more likely to "zero in" on a structure if the soil next to the foundation is consistently moist. Water should be diverted away from the foundation with properly functioning gutters, downspouts and splash blocks. Leaking faucets, water pipes and air conditioning units should be repaired, and the ground next to the foundation should be graded (sloped) so that surface water drains away from the building. Homes with poor drainage may need to have tiles or drains installed. Lawn sprinklers and irrigation systems should be adjusted to minimize water puddling near the foundation.
- Reduce humidity in crawl spaces. Most building codes call for 1 square foot of vent opening per 150 square feet of crawlspace area. For crawlspaces equipped with a polyethylene vapor barrier (see below), the total vent area often can be reduced to 1 square foot per 300 to 500 square feet of crawlspace area. One vent should be within 3 feet of each exterior corner of the building. Vents should be kept free of leaves, dirt, and debris, and should not be obstructed by vegetation. Moisture and humidity in crawl spaces can further be reduced by installing 4-6 ml polyethylene sheeting over about 75 percent of the soil surface. The soil cover will act as a vapor barrier to reduce evaporation from the soil and condensation of moisture on joists and subflooring. Vents and vapor barriers are installed by most pest control companies.
- Never store firewood, lumber or other wood debris against the foundation or inside the crawl space. Firewood, lumber, cardboard boxes, newspapers, and other cellulose materials attract termites and provide a source of food. When stacked against the foundation they offer a hidden path of entry into the structure and allow termites to bypass any termiticide soil barrier which is present. Vines, ivy, and other dense plant material touching the house should also be avoided. Where practical, dead stumps and tree roots around and beneath the building should be removed, along with old form boards and grade stakes left in place after the building was constructed.
- Use mulch sparingly, especially if you already have termites or other conducive conditions. Many people use landscape mulch for its aesthetic and plant health benefits. Excessive or improper usage, however, can contribute to termite problems. Termites are attracted to mulch primarily because of its moisture-retaining properties, and the insulation it affords against temperature extremes. The mulch itself is of poor nutritional quality to termites and a non-preferred source of food. Since the moisture retaining properties of mulch are more of an attractant than the wood itself, it makes little difference what type of mulch is used (cypress, pine bark, eucalyptus, etc.). Contrary to popular belief, crushed stone or pea gravel are comparable to wood mulch in terms of attraction, since they also retain moisture in the underlying soil. Where mulch is used, it should be applied sparingly (2-3 inches is usually adequate), and should never be allowed to contact wood siding or framing of doors or windows.
- Consider having the structure treated by a professional pest control firm. Buildings have many natural openings through which termites can enter, most of which are hidden. While the above measures will help make the house less attractive to termites, the best way to prevent infestation is to protect it with a termiticide.
Preventively treating a home for termites is a reasonable investment, especially if the structure has had no prior history of treatment. If the building was previously treated by a pest control firm, it's a good idea to maintain the warranty by paying the annual renewal fee. Should termites reinfest the building (which can happen even if the initial treatment was performed correctly), the company will return and retreat the affected area at no additional charge.
Whether or not a person chooses to have their home treated, they should know the signs of termite infestation:
Pencil-wide mud foraging tubes on foundation walls, piers, sills, joists, etc.
Winged "swarmer" termites, or their shed wings, on window sills and along the edges of floors.
Damaged wood hollowed out along the grain, lined with bits of mud or soil.
Detecting hidden termite infestation requires a trained eye. Most pest control firms perform inspections free of charge and will also alert the homeowner to any conditions they uncover which are conducive to termite attack.

Update of the Updates (3/28/05): Everything below is now obsolete. I found a backdoor in to the Enetation comments, so replacement has begun and I don't need the links here on each post. Go about your normal business. Nothing to see here...
----obsolete information below----
Something's going on with the Enetation servers, so comments don't seem to be appearing on posts at the moment. I'm going to turn on Blogger's commenting system, because I've been thinking of moving to it anyway, as it will email all comments to me so I have them backed up. Once Enetation returns, I'll try to import as many comments as I can, at least on controversial posts.
Update: I've got the Enetation comments back, so you're not insane if you see two comments links below each post. The first one is the Blogger system, the second one the Enetation. There's no other way I can get access to the old comments, so while I'm moving old ones into the Blogger system, they'll both be there. I'm going to try to get this all done this week, so the confusion shouldn't last too long. I'll do my best to preserve as many as possible, but at this point there are about 300 posts here, and a lot of them have comments, so it's going to both be somewhat slow and inevitably incomplete. Ultimately, though, this should be the last time I have to change commenting systems. At least until I break down and move to my own site rather than Blogger's, but that's a much bigger job than I have time for now or in the near future, I expect.
If you happen to post a comment in the old system, don't worry about it. I'll move it for you.
I've also (finally!) updated the sidebar and gotten rid of the Google ads (I thought they were annoying).

In 1969, the first year of the Hamilton Program
in Washington, the capital was still a city "of Northern charm
and Southern efficiency" as President John Kennedy described
it some years earlier. As the program has matured, so has the capital,
which is now a global center of culture, the arts, recreation and
cosmopolitan diversity, as well as political power. L'Enfant's plan
has come to fruition in beautiful, broad boulevards, lined with
monuments, government agencies, museums, restaurants and manicured
open spaces. It is also a city of comfortable, shaded neighborhoods
from Georgetown and Dupont Circle to Capitol Hill and the Waterfront,
served by an efficient municipal government and a public transportation
system that includes an extensive and even pleasant subway system.
Not only is American history palpable at every turn, but so is the
future of the country and its cities.

One of those old sayings that has a grain or two of truth to it. Stocks, real estate, education even, all require some money in to have a chance at making money later unless you the Trumpster maybe. I was thinking about this on election day when Starbucks was offering free coffee. Originally it was if you voted, but it turned out that rewarding votes is illegal, so they just opened it up to everyone. Lot's of interesting stuff in the offer. Starbucks = America. Starbucks = Voting The Best Coffee Place? Subtle and you might not agree on that part, but I sat outside one for an hour working and watched a lot of people come over for the free coffee. How many were new customers and how many weren't? No idea, and I guess Starbucks can only guess as well as I didn't see any type of polling (election day pun) going on.
Even at their cost I imagine it worked out to be an expensive offer, what did they get in return? Lots of free press, lots of people thinking about where to find the nearest Starbucks, maybe co-workers taking someone along that wouldn't normally go. Probably a few like me that passed on the free coffee to have an iced cafe mocha or other drink that didn't require sprinkles on top.
Marketing is hard because you want to measure results. What did I get for my money? Investing much the same, I bought the stock, when do I get rich? The really hard thing is you only get to know if you were right after you made the decision, often much later. Deciding when and where to spend money to make money is not an easy task, but very hard to make money if you don't spend some.
No, I don't own Starbucks stock either!
